Novel idea

[sfhyouthforum]

When I am not arguing the virtues of da yoof, I happen to be writing a novel about them. Funnily enough the novel is all about aspiration; how a teenager can realise their goals within the complications of today's society. It's set on my street.

I'm at the stage now where I could do with some helpful feedback. Would anyone be interested in meeting for a series off three book debates? I'd print you off sample chapters which I can post to you or leave at my office. Then we can discuss them a week or so later. I would book a space in Sydenham or Forest Hill and supply tea and coffee.

You don't need to be an expert or anything, just completely honest and upfront about my writing and how I portray the characters. The first session would probably take place at the end of September. With the other two in October.
